Manchester United insists for the transfer of Tottenham Hotspurs winger Gareth Bale, Red Devils would make a £60 million offer for the Spurs Welshman.

Manchester United are making a massive £60million bid for Gareth Bale.

Premier League champions United want Tottenham star Bale to be the first major signing of new manager David Moyes’ reign.

The move for the Welshman is thought to be one of the reasons why United’s vice chairman Ed Woodward is returning early from their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia.

Spurs are desperate not to lose Bale, last year’s Footballer of the Year, and have so far resisted United’s approach.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has been very shrewd when it comes to the transfer market. He drives a hard bargain when it comes to selling his biggest players. It’s the biggest reason former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp didn’t drive the club into insolvency when he left. Spurs are very fiscally responsible, making sure not to spend too much on new players while squeezing every dime out of player sales.

United should have plenty of experience with Levy, having had to work very hard to sign Dimitar Berbatov back in 2008. Then a couple of seasons later, Levy wasn’t afraid to keep Luka Modric despite a lot of interest from Premier League clubs. Modric had wanted out for a while, but Levy had no problem telling the player he wasn’t going anywhere until the club was ready to sell. Spurs held out until Real Madrid met Spurs’ valuation of the player.

Playing for Tottenham Hotspurs means Bale doesn’t have much chance to win league titles, and without him, it’s hard to see where Spurs would have finished in the table. Still, though, Bale has not yet reached the point Ronaldo did in his final season at Old Trafford.

Winger is an area of concern for David Moyes. However, he should focus on a target who’s much more realistic and will also leave enough money in the budget to sign that all-important central midfielder.

By going all out for Gareth Bale, United are ensuring they lose out on yet another big-name player, which won’t make the supporters happy after seeing the likes of Modric, Wesley Sneijder, Eden Hazard, Lucas Moura and Thiago Alcantara all slip through the club’s grasp.
